Week 8

The topic of the article is violence on campuses. The main idea is how to prevent this violence and what schools are to about it.

The author talks about some of the main shootings that have happened over the past years, the Virginia tech shooting were 32 people were killed by a student who then took his own life, the Austin University shooting were 16 students were killed the Columbine High School shooting. After studies they have discovered that tighter security is not effective because people are not taking the campus security seriously, and after an incident happens the security gets really active but then just goes back to its normal ways. so no matter how tight the security is the shooters will still find a way to get what they want.
Isolated, low self worth, and someone who does not take criticism well.
The security at NYIT is all right. I do notice a lot of security vehicles around campus, but I never see any security guards. I think the main reason the security guards are good for on campus is mainly giving people parking tickets. But if somehow something went wrong I think it would take along time for the guards to head over to the seen because they will first have to drive there and then get out of there car and run over to the seen.
